💡 What: Replaced entry.path().is_file() with entry.file_type().is_some_and(|ft| ft.is_file()) across directory traversal operations in mill-services and mill-handlers.

🎯 Why: Calling entry.path().is_file() on an ignore::DirEntry forces an unnecessary stat (or fs::metadata) syscall, bypassing the metadata already cached during the directory walking process.

📊 Impact: Measurably improves directory traversal performance (scanning, pruning, renaming, checksum generation), especially for larger directories or slower file systems, by completely eliminating unnecessary syscalls.

🔬 Measurement: Observe faster execution times in collect_files_in_dir and related file scanning operations in profiles/benchmarks.

…nd(|ft| ft.is_file())

When using directory traversal crates like `ignore`, calling `entry.path().is_file()` performs an unnecessary `stat` syscall on the underlying path. By switching to `entry.file_type()`, the code can accurately use the file metadata already retrieved during the `readdir` operation, significantly speeding up directory traversals.

P2 Badge Preserve symlinked files in directory traversals

When the directory contains a symlink that resolves to a regular file, this replacement is not equivalent to the old check: Path::is_file() follows the link, but with the default WalkBuilder settings entry.file_type() reports the directory entry itself as a symlink, so the path is dropped from files_to_move. The directory rename still moves that symlink, so preview/result counts and detailed file lists under-report what was moved; the same filter pattern in the checksum/delete planners also stops checksumming these paths.
